“For those ready to jump back into the story of Grand Theft Auto 5, we have big plans for substantial additions in 2014 continuing Michael, Franklin and Trevor’s action, mayhem and unexpected adventures in Southern San Andreas,” the post noted.

Rockstar also promised to bring co-operative heists to GTA Online, and “much more still to be announced”.

These delightful teases accompanied details of new content arriving much sooner. Rockstar will unleash the Deathmatch & Race Creators Beta on December 10, and a new mode called Capture is coming later in the month.
